About Us
We are a small, privately owned commercial ski area. During the season, we employ about 18 staff (this includes instructors employed by the Ski School); we pride ourselves on our small, friendly team - with everyone able and keen to pitch in and help wherever and whenever needed. We require a staff that are able to communicate well in English, as there is a lot of radio communication and clarity is essential. The mountain is a non-smoking zone for staff members.
The nearest town is Fairlie, a very compact village that services the surrounding farm land. The only on-mountain accommodation is for the Couple on Mountain position, which has already been filled for the 2013 season. Staff need to obtain their own accommodation; furnished rentals or inexpensive motels can usually be found in Fairlie or Lake Tekapo.
When the mountain is open, everyone works. Days off occur when the mountain is closed due to snow/wind, and may be rostered later in the season.
The mountain is a non-smoking area for staff. Smokers be aware you will not be permitted to smoke at any time on the mountain.
